No you can't use the D series trans.

A complete B series swap includes complete Engine (including all internal parts, clutch, T-belt, etc), trans, accesories, shift linkage, axles, ECU, distributor, manifolds, and mounts/brackets.

You need all of those. From a B series.

Also, use the search feature. There are a lot of topics like this...so there's a lot of info out there for you.

you can use your stock rad if you want, but your going to need to get a different hose clamp and put it on as tight as you can
everything that B serious is right.
you really need to search! this topic has been beatin to death, brought and killed again a million times over

Um....no. If you want to retain AC (if you have it) you need the Del Sol VTEC AC bracket to mount you stock compressor to the B-series block.

Correct on the PS pump and brackets.

Using a B series condenser would require you to get a B-series radiator and it would require all new AC lines and some fabricating to get the mounting right.

If I would get off my **** and get busy, I have a huge and very detailed swap how-to/guide that I'm working on. I'm probably a few days away from finishing it...provided that I sit down and do it

I you are doing a B18B or B20, just use your original wiring harness. You will need to extend the O2 sensor wiring as the only modification. Label all of the harness plugs before you remove them. The wiring will be a piece of cake!
